Blog addicted...

At one point I had 7 different blogs...

A blog with my family pictures and events...
A blog for my creative writing...
A blog for my academic writing notes...
A blog to publicly post my goals in hopes of actually accomplishing them...
A blog for letters to never be seen (I write letters to people I am mad at and delete them, great anger management)...
A blog that was my "grief journal" when I lost my husband...
and this one, A blog for my creative endeavors...

I have deleted my blog for letters to not be seen, there is a reason you delete them, so you no longer hold that anger, and keeping them on record, even if just for my eyes, only rekindled that anger each time I opened it.

I am going to lose my academic blog, and just merge it with my creative writing one... I like writing, but the only reason for academic is for teachers, not myself.

I am going to keep my family one with pictures around, but make certain it remains private. that if for my family to see, not the whole world. I am open with enough of my life, my children need to be private... Kris preferred it that way.

So that brings me to the point of this post. I have had many compliments on my writing, suggesting I do more with it, pursue it somehow. I have found a few online blogs that pay for writing, I have even found a few published journals to submit to. But I have found it harder and harder to decide "where" to write my thoughts, my widow blog where I am much more open? But lately it has turned into more of a life blog including dating and other aspects. My goals have not amounted to much at all... usually just another place to vent. And let's face it in the past year while I miss being crafty, raising 4 kids alone, and working, and going to school, and trying to fit in a date here and there has been more than tricky. However, I like the "title" of this blog the most, and feel it encompasses all my passions, reading, writing, crafty, my random thoughts on life, goals, tips I happen to pick up along the way... so here is my plan. I am cutting my blog life to 3 blogs. My private family one, my school and creative writing, and this. My place for creativity, my place for thoughts on life, my goals... I am also going to subscribe to ads on this one because then I can perhaps make something of it eventually. I will keep my other blogs up... but more for my own eyes. But please pass along this blogs for others to see, and I hope to be able to add it more frequently without having to decided which blog to write on.

About Me

I was married to my high school sweet heart for 16 years when he never woke up one morning leaving me to care for our 4 wonderful children alone. In the time I have been widowed I have been blessed by friends and family and grown, but there is not a day that goes by I don't miss him with all my heart. I hope my thoughts offer some encouragement to others, even if it is simply seeing I have been pretty low and still continued on as best as I could. I try to be open and honest, and welcome your thoughts and comments.
